    Why the Atheist should also believe in God?

  • Something like 98% of what you see in the night sky is already out of our reach. If you left right now, at the speed of light, you would never, ever, reach them.

    Another consequence of that is that some day the light from those stars will also be unable to reach us. They'll still be there, same as the day before, but not one shred of information from them will be attainable.

    If you could go to this future, you would have no way of convincing people, except say, the ancient texts. To some extent it would not even matter because again, existing or not, there is no way for them to interact.

    98% of what's in the night sky would just have to be taken on faith.

    Im not advocating religion here I just always thought there was some poetry in that.

  • It was actually very low effort! There are a number of image to STL converters. I used this one: https://imagetostl.com/

    Like you can see it'll flub some stuff. I would have been better off filling in the areas of text and doing the emboss manually myself, but I just wanted to hit print. 2% infill, I think it was like 2.5g of filament and 20mins.

    It's fun to screw around with that process. I'm tweaking one of my friends cabin to use to make a mold. My goal is cast concrete or something similar so I can pound some thin copper around it, and be left with a cool wall decoration.

  • Literally why I got mine. If you're losing motivation use 3d builder. Use blenders clay tug and pull function to make something hideous.

  • Are you CPR/First Aid certified? If so, do you carry around a "rescue breath mouth shield" with you everywhere you go?

    Jump

  • I got certified in June. I don't carry a mask because the risk of disease transfer is small, and I don't want one more thing to worry about if it's something I have to do.

    There's a small, practical first aide kit in most of my packs (2x alch pad, bandaides, benedryl, gauze pad, superglue), and a full one in my car. The one in my car is still mostly practical (all of the above plus more gauze, sling, calomine, butterfly bandage, antibiotic ointment, BP cuff, stethoscope, SpO2). Most of it is meant to stop bleeding I just don't want on my seats.

  • That makes one of us. Fluid dynamics gets screwy.

  • I'm only going to be a pedant because that's sort of the point of these conversations, that's not a bad interpretation and I appreciate you posting it.

    Edit re-reading your answer we might be saying the same thing. Leaving incase this version lights someone's bulb

    BUT, it's not so much that it's "distributed" as that, so long as the boat floats, there will be a mass of water displaced exactly equal to the mass of the boat. In this case it's displaced off the bridge (off either end). There is zero force being applied up or downstream (except during the initial transition). That's the fun thing about incomprehensible fluids, every infinitely small point at the bottom of a water colum ONLY has the force of the column above it acting on it. A pressure gage will read the same for a square mm or square m.

    Spot on with the bowl though. The displaced water can't leave the system in that case so the masses add.

    Heres the action lab video BTW! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUq_tM3yGTM&pp=ygUKQWN0aW9uIGxhYg%3D%3D

    Jump

  • Here's a fun fact action lab pointed out: setting aside wind, etc, the load the bridge has to be designed for is only the water that fills it.

    That bridge will have the same force on it from a tanker or a kyaker.

  • FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU

    Jump

  • So I have a FlashForge AD5X with the MMU. It worked amazing out of the box, including flawlessly doing some TPU. They actually mentioned the MMU was designed with TPU in mind. That being said: I have been struggling with basic PLA, even after swapping to nozzle that has run only PLA (even though I only ran <10g of TPU through it). I am still new to a lot of this, and don't feel experienced enough to fault the hardware. What I can say though is it does seem folks are specifically improving the ability of MMUs to handle flexibles. A big reason I got it was to be able to do ABS parts with TPU gaskets. Ask me in a few months.

  • The ultimate all-in-one PC: Raspberry Pi 500+ on sale now at $200

    Jump

  • yeah, like I always liked the Pi as essentially an arduino and easier way to spit stuff out to a screen, and native wifi. As they evolved some of the micro-pc stuff was cool for hosting a few services, but why do they keep pushing into the mini-pc sphere.

    I guess I get that this is an expansion of the Pi-5, and that does kind of make sense for those who want it, but it seems like they're going to lose the plot in one of these generations soon.

  • How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog

    Jump

  • You can be pretty technical/capable and still write that article (especially if you have technical expertise outside programming). I have never felt so seen.

    I worked my way up from arduino -> RasPi -> Debian -> Self hosting quite a few things. I'm very much a hobbyist/novice, but I'm used to learning. It is so hard to read some documentation and understand what something even does sometimes. This goes double for incredibly useful tools for monitoring/implementing other tools. Like I swear I read the kubernetes descriptions 30x before I realized what in the hell it actually does, and now I'm probably about to break my entire home network with it because I think it's cool as hell.

    Also, to your comment specifically: I can get sensors on PCBs I personally made collecting data, throwing it through my own MQTT broker, hosting a dashboard etc, all at a remote site across state lines. I have no idea wtf markdown is. I use yaml for HA stuff with the ESPs, but I don't know why markdown is a thing and it's not just python.

    And I am 1000% sure there is a very good reason for 98% of this. But yes I found this article hilarious. In my personal circle of hell all nouns end in "-ly".

  • FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU

    Jump

  • Same here. Printing something like say, a cow, with frequent swaps would be wasteful, but I'll do parts with 1-2 color swaps. It's mostly nice as you said though to have multiples "locked and loaded" to do a 1 filament print.

  • So that's what I thought... Except for similar issu s with extended drying.

    I building an enclosure with a rotary dehumidifier to keep things low, but despite the tell tale signs I think something else was going on.
